Preparing for Dora the Explorer to meet the kids
Kids enjoy meeting Dora the Explorer and having Dora the Explorer at the party. Some preparations can be made to help the kids get the most enjoyment out of having Dora the Explorer at the party.
The most important preparation is helping the kids, especially those under the age of 6 years old, understand what to expect when Dora the Explorer arrives. Most kids have only seen Dora the Explorer on television, and TV Dora the Explorer is small. Dora the Explorer on television is thinner and shorter than a 6 year old. The Dora the Explorer coming to the kids party is the size of an adult. Dora the Explorer will sit down when he arrives to help the kids adjust to the height difference of life-size Dora the Explorer.

There are some preparations you can make to help the kids know what to expect before Dora the Explorer arrives:
- tell all the kids that Dora the Explorer is coming to the party
- show them the above picture
- show the kids an object that is 6’2” - almost the height of a door, and explain that Dora the Explorer is ‘this tall’
- show them a video of kids interacting with a familiar mascot
After Dora the Explorer arrives, there are ways to help the kids get the most enjoyment from having Dora the Explorer at the party:
- allow the kids to approach Dora the Explorer at their own pace. Some kids will run up and hug Dora the Explorer, while others will keep their distance until they feel more comfortable. It can take some kids 10-20 minutes for some kids to feel comfortable with Dora the Explorer.
- encourage adults to interact with Dora the Explorer, watching others interact with Dora the Explorer helps the kids feel comfortable more quickly
- please do not force any child to approach Dora the Explorer.
